Holybro Kakute H7 – the most expensive flight controller
Holybro has released the new Kakute H7 FC which can be called… the most expensive flight controller! Well it has got the fastest H7 processor in the RC market, running @ 480Mhz. and that can be the reason for the high price. 8 motor outputs via two sockets for octocopters, 6 UART ports, two BECs and plug and play ready for digital FPV in on this board. Kakute H7 also has integrated Bluetooth on board for easier connectivity with Betaflight configurator.

Oh wow!
This FC has everything and the kitchen sink.
It even has room for a sd card slot,
This seems like this is one of those Flight Controllers that is actually future proof.
I’d buy it
Yes, this is very powerful FC. It’s computing power should be enough for years (in year 2025 it will probably be still good FC). However I’d take a look at the SP Racing H7 flight controllers. Dominic Clinton has recently released the latest
SP Racing H7 RF FC.
Look at the Specs:
H730 @ 520Mhz Flight Controller with Direct ExpressLRS 2.4Ghz (SPI), Pixel OSD, ICM42688P Gyro, BMP388 Baro, Flash, SD Card, 2x 4in1 ESC sockets, 2-8S BEC with TVS diode, VTX Pit switch, 4 LEDs, IO ports for buzzer, led strip etc, 20×20 and 30×30 mount.
And all this @ 65€ price mark!
